    I get a similar feeling when I'm visiting the neighborhood I grew up in, 20 years ago. Houses look different, the street looks different, most of my old neighbours died, most of my friends moved far away. Businesses that used to operate there are now closed. It's almost like I'm a ghost lurking there. The place and people of my childhood exist only in my memories. And when I die, these memories will go away forever as if they never happened.

    • @emmy4537
      @emmy4537 Před rokem +7

      It’s bittersweet and that’s how life goes unfortunately. It’s important to plan ahead for the future, however it’s just as important to enjoy yourself “in the now” as well so in the future you’ll have mostly good memories to look back on.
      It’s because I’ll die eventually that I have less anxiety now because I no longer care about what people may think of me, and that I do more of the things I want to do and make as many good interactions with people as possible.
      Before I know it, the 2020’s will be my version of the 1980’s in the sense that a lot of time would have passed by that time.

I was dumb and didn’t realize I could specialize legally in what I’m already good with. I don’t think bar/ court rooms are for me, more so I want a law degree to quit being pushed over in business, represent myself/llc.

    The woman the cover of Ratt’s Invasion of Your Privacy is Marianne Gravatte, not Tawny Kitaen, who appears on the covers of the self-titled EP and debut, Out of the Cellar. Gravatte was Playmate of the Year for 1983, and, I believe, a one-time girlfriend of Robbin Crosby, the band’s (now deceased) guitar player (alongside Warren DeMartini). Of course, Robbin also dated Kitaen, from way back, pre-Ratt. Gravatte is also the girl in the “Lay It Down” video. Yes, I am a psychotic metal nerd. Rock on.

    Hey, I love your videos. I'm 47, and I identify so much with your lives your history. You were me, I was you. I was a metalhead then, and I am today also. The only thing different is my parents were squares and wouldn't let me have long hair. When I was 25, I had hair reaching below my armpits (not armpit hair!) and earrings in my ears. Now, like you, I have short hair, am somewhat balding, and still fixated in some ways on the last decent decade - the 1980s! That's why I started watching your videos. You bring back great (and some not-so-great) memories, and it has been great walking down your memory lane with you and seeing how much your neighborhood (and lives) has changed.

    Love that you did this video. I currently live in the town I grew up in, and can relate to seeing changes to places of youth, and wondering how a random person, in the case of this video, the store clerk, is doing now. When I was a kid, I never considered the subtle impact that a restaurant, store, or person, would have on me, as being part of my personal narrative. As I push 44 years on this planet, I very much consider those things now.

    I've been watching these two all afternoon, all their vids here in 2022 from way back in the 80s. Fabulous time machine material. Honestly it's better than a cry and a cup of tea to make you feel good. In 1981 I was I was 16 and living in MN as an exchange student for a year. It all looked so similar, the times were just simpler and people didn't stress, they just made their own fun and lived their lives. If I put on my shoes and and tap my heels three times, I hope to return to those days in the 80s, after the last three years we've all endured I think a few people would join me.
